Sloane

I like the sound and feel of Sloane.

Obviously, I don't like the Sloane Ranger association, which kills the whole name for me.

What names can you think of have the same feel to them?

Chelsea Grin

Sorry OP, you did ask Blush

TeaChest100 · 25/06/2017 19:41

Seriously though, for a girl or boy?

WaitrosePigeon · 25/06/2017 19:45

Naff!

I know of one, an American, female.

Not good. What do you mean by same feel? A surname-type name, or something like Chelsea, as already suggested?

ineedamoreadultieradult · 25/06/2017 19:45

Nope don't like it

SloanePeterson · 25/06/2017 19:46

Nah. It's a joke and in my esteemed opinion Grin

Moomins67 · 25/06/2017 19:51

Girl, although I have no intentions of using it at all. I don't like it either (because of the association) so I'm using it as a jumping off point

The same feel as in, short and simple without any frills. Can't be shortened. Sort of unisex without being a boy's name

Hans Sloane?
It makes no sense to call a kid this surname.

Moomins67 · 25/06/2017 20:07

I'm not calling anyone Sloane

Moomins67 · 25/06/2017 20:09

I quite like Mona but it's still not right

Sloane from Ferris Bueller was cool.
I like Afton. Or Blythe.

Piper

Moomins67 · 25/06/2017 20:14

I don't particularly like Blythe, but that is the sort of thing I'm looking for

Bronagh (Irish name rhymes with mona). I had a lovely and very beautifully friend called this at school so has good associations.
